WARNING!

The vibration level given in these

instructions has been measured in accordance with

a standardised measurement procedure speciﬁed

in EN 60745 and can be used to compare devices.

Diﬀerent uses of the device give rise to diﬀerent

vibration levels and in many cases they may exceed

the values given in these instructions. It is easy to

underestimate the vibration load if the electrical pow-

er tool is used regularly in particular circumstances.

Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment

of the vibration loads experienced during a particular

period of working, you should also take into account

the intervening periods of time when the device is

switched oﬀ or is running but is not actually in use.

This can result in a much lower vibration load over

the whole of the period of working.

General safety advice for

electrical power tools

WARNING!

Read all the safety advice

and instructions! Failure to observe the safety

advice and instructions may result in electric shock,

ﬁre and / or serious injury.

Keep all the safety advice and instructions

in a safe place for future reference!

The term “electrical tool” used in the safety advice

refers to electrical tools powered by mains electricity

Introduction / General safety advice for electrical power tools

8 GB/IE

(by means of a mains lead) and electrical tools

powered by rechargeable batteries (without a

mains lead).

1.

Workplace safety

a) Keep your working area clean and

well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas

can lead to accidents.

b)

Do not work with the device

in potentially explosive envi-

ronments in which there are

inflammable liquids, gases or dusts.

Electrical power tools create sparks, which can

ignite dusts or fumes.

c)

Keep children and other

people away while you are

operating the electrical tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control of

the device.

2.

Electrical safety

a)

The mains plug on the device must match

the mains socket. The plug must not

be modified in any way. Do not use

an adapter plug with devices fitted

with a protective earth. Unmodiﬁed

plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of

electric shock.

b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such

as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig-

erators with any part of your body.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is earthed

.

c) Keep the device away from rain or

moisture. Water entering an electrical device

increases the risk of electric shock.

d)

Do not use the mains lead for

any purpose for which it was

not intended, e.g. to carry the

device, to hang up the device or to pull

the mains plug out of the mains socket.

Keep the mains lead away from heat,

oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the

device. Damaged or tangled mains leads

increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When working outdoors with an

electrical power tool always use ex-

tension cables that are also approved

for use outdoors. The use of an extension

cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk

of electric shock.

f) Use a residual current device (RCD)

for protection if operating the electri-

cal power tool in a moist environment

is unavoidable. The use of an RCD reduces

the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a) Remain alert at all times, watch what

you are doing and always proceed

with caution. Do not use the device if

you are tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. One mo

ment

of carelessness when using the device can lead

to serious injury.

b)

Wear personal protective

equipment and always wear

safety glasses. The wearing of

personal protective equipment such as dust

masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets or

ear protectors, appropriate to the type of elec-

trical power tool used and work undertaken,

reduces the risk of injury.

c) Avoid unintentional operation of the

device. Check that the electrical power

tool is switched off before you connect

it to the mains, pick it up or carry it.

Accidents can happen if you carry the device

with your ﬁnger on the ON / OFF switch or with

the device switched on.

d) Remove any setting tools or spanners

before you switch the device on. A tool

or spanner left attached to a rotating part of a

device can lead to injury.

e) Avoid placing your body in an unnat-

ural position. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. By doing this

you will be in a better position to control the

device in unforeseen circumstances.

General safety advice for electrical power tools

9 GB/IE

f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear

loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your

hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov-

ing parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long

hair can become trapped in moving parts.

g) If vacuum dust extraction and collection

devices are fitted do not forget to

check

that they are properly connected and

correctly used. The use of these devices

reduces the hazard presented by dust.

4.

Careful handling and use

of electrical power tools

a) Do not overload the device. Always

use an electrical power tool that is

intended for the task you are under-

taking. By using the right electrical power

tool for the job you will work more safely and

achieve a better result.

b)

Do not use an electrical power tool if

its switch is defective. An electrical power

tool that can no longer be switched on and oﬀ

is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Pull the mains plug from the socket

before you make any adjustments to

the device, change accessories or when

the device is put away. This precaution is

intended to prevent you from unintentionally

starting the device.

d) When not in use always ensure that

electrical power tools are kept out of

reach of children. Do not let anyone use

the device if he or she is not familiar

with it or has not read the instructions

and advice. Electrical power tools are dan-

gerous when they are used by inexperienced

people.

e) Look after the device carefully. Check

that moving parts are working prop-

erly and move freely. Check for any

parts that are broken or damaged

enough to detrimentally affect the

functioning of the device. Have dam-

aged parts repaired before you use

the device. Many accidents have their origins

in poorly maintained electrical power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.

Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to jam and are

easier to control.

g) Use the electrical power tool, accesso-

ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance

with these instructions and advice, and

the stipulations drawn up for this par-

ticular type of device. In doing this, take

into account the working conditions

and the task in hand. The use of electrical

power tools for purposes other than those in-

tended can lead to dangerous situations.

Safety advice relating

speciﬁcally to this device,

DIN EN 60745-2-3



Safety advice for all uses

General safety advice for grinding,

sanding (with sandpaper), wire brushing,

polishing and disc-cutting:

a) This electrical power tool is intended

for use as a grinding, sanding, wire-

brushing, and disc-cutting machine.

Observe all the safety advice, instructions, in-

formation in ﬁgures and all other information

you received with this device. If you do not

observe the following advice it could lead to

electric shock, ﬁre and / or serious injury.

b) Normative statement / advice for this tool is not

applicable.

c) Do not use any accessory not specifi-

cally intended by the manufacturer

for this electrical power tool. Although

an accessory may ﬁt on your electrical power

tool, this does not on its own guarantee that it

can be safely used.

d) The maximum permitted speed of an

attachment must be at least as high as

the maximum speed indicated for the

electrical power tool. An accessory rotating

faster than its permitted speed could disintegrate

or ﬂy oﬀ.

e) The external diameter and the thickness

of the attachment must be compatible

with the dimensions of your electrical

power tool. Attachments that are not dimen-

sionally compatible cannot be adequately

guarded or controlled.

f) Grinding discs, flanges, grinding

wheels or other accessories must fit

exactly on to the spindle of your elec-

trical power tool. Attachments that do not

exactly ﬁt on the spindle turn unevenly, vibrate

severely and could lead to loss of control.

g) Do not use damaged attachments.

Before every use check attachments

such as grinding discs for loose frag-

ments and cracks, grinding wheels for

cracks, deterioration or excessive

wear and wire brushes for loose or

broken wires. If the electrical power

tool or attachment is dropped, inspect

for damage or change the attachment

for an undamaged one. When you

have inspected and inserted the at-

tachment, position yourself and by-

standers away from the plane of the

rotating attachment and run the device

at maximum speed for one minute.

Damaged attachments will usually break apart

during this test.

h)

Wear personal protective

equipment. Use a full face vi-

sor, safety goggles or safety

glasses, depending on the application.

Wear a dust mask, hearing protectors,

safety gloves or special apron capable

of stopping particles of the grinding

medium or workpiece, as appropriate

for the task. Eyes must be protected from

the ﬂying debris which can arise from some

operations. Dust or breathing masks must be

capable of ﬁltering out the dust generated by

the application. Prolonged exposure to loud

noise can lead to hearing loss.

i) Keep bystanders at a safe distance

from your work area. Anyone entering

the work area must wear personal

protective equipment. Fragments of the

workpiece or of a broken attachment could ﬂy

oﬀ and cause injury beyond the immediate

working area.

j) Hold the device by the insulated han-

dle surfaces when you are undertak-

ing work where there is the danger

of the attachment striking hidden

electricity cables or the device’s mains

lead. Contact with a live wire could cause

metal parts of the device to become live and

lead to electric shock.

k) Keep the mains lead away from rotat-

ing attachments. If you lose control of the

device the mains lead may become severed or

trapped and your hand or arm may be pulled

into the rotating attachment.

5 GB/IE

l) Never lay the electrical power tool

down until after the attachment has

come to a complete standstill. The rotat-

ing attachment may snag when it comes into

contact with the surface and cause you to lose

control of the device.

m) Do not have the electrical power tool

running while you are carrying it. Your

clothing could become trapped by unintention-

al contact with the rotating attachment and the

tool could be pulled into your body.

n) Clean the ventilation slots on your

electrical power tool regularly. The mo-

tor’s fan draws dust into the housing. A build-up

of metal dust could give rise to an electrical

hazard.

o)

Never use the electrical

power tool near inflammable

materials. Sparks could ignite

these materials.

p) Do not use attachments that require

the use of coolants. The use of water or

other liquid coolants could result in electric shock.



Safety advice

relating to kickback

Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched or

snagged rotating attachment, such as a grinding

disc, grinding pad, wire brush etc. Pinching or

snagging results in the rotating attachment coming

to an abrupt stop. This causes the electrical power

tool (if not controlled) to move in the opposite di-

rection to the direction of rotation of the attachment

at the point of constraint.

If, for example, a grinding disc is pinched or snags

in a workpiece, this can cause the edge of the

grinding disc to penetrate the workpiece, become

trapped there and either free itself or kickback. The

grinding disc moves towards or away from the op-

erator, depending on the direction of movement of

the disc at the point of constraint. The grinding disc

could also break.

Kickback occurs as a result of incorrect use or mis-

use of the electrical power tool. It can be prevented

by taking the appropriate precautions as described

below.

a) Maintain a firm grip on the electrical

power tool and position your body

and arms to allow you to resist kick-

back forces. Always use the auxiliary

handle, if provided, to exercise the

greatest possible control over kick-

back forces or reaction torques as the

device builds up to full speed. By taking

suitable precautions the operator can control

kickback and reaction forces.

b) Do not place your hands near a rotat-

ing attachment. If kickback occurs the at-

tachment could move over your hand.

c) Avoid positioning your body in the

area into which the electrical power

tool would move in the event of a

kickback. A kickback moves the electrical

power tool in the opposite direction to the di-

rection of movement of the grinding disc at the

point of constraint.

d) Work particularly carefully in the

area of corners, sharp edges etc. to

avoid the attachment bouncing or

snagging on the workpiece. Corners,

sharp edges or bouncing have a ten-

dency to snag the rotating attachment.

This causes loss of control or kickback.

e) Do not use saw-chain woodcarving

discs or toothed discs. Such attachments

create frequent kickback and loss of control.

Special safety advice relating

to grinding and disc-cutting

a) Always use the guard designed for

the type of abrasive consumable you

are using. Always use abrasive consumables

approved for use with your electrical power

tool. Abrasive consumables not approved for

use with your electrical power tool cannot be

adequately guarded and are unsafe.

6 GB/IE

b) To ensure the highest level of opera-

tional safety, the disc guard cover

must be attached to the electrical

power tool and set in such a way that

the smallest possible area of the

abrasive consumable is exposed to

the operator. The disc guard cover is there

to protect the operator from pieces breaking

oﬀ and accidental contact with the abrasive

consumable.

c) Abrasive consumables must be used

only for their recommended purpos-

es, For example: never grind with the

side face of a cutting disc. Cutting discs

are intended for removing material using the

edge of the disc. Sideways forces on these

abrasive consumables can cause them to break.

d) Always use an undamaged mounting

flange of the correct size and shape

for your selected grinding disc. Suitable

ﬂanges support the grinding disc and reduce

the chance of it breaking. Flanges for cutting

discs are diﬀerent from the ﬂanges for other

abrasive discs.

e) Do not use chainsaw blades or serrat-

ed saw blades. Such insertion tools often

cause the tool to recoil or you to lose control of

the power tool.

Further special safety

advice for disc-cutting

a) Avoid snagging the cutting disc and

do not use too much contact pressure.

Do not attempt to make excessively

deep cuts. Overloading the cutting disc in-

creases the load and the tendency of the disc

to twist or snag in the cut, making kickback or

disc breakage more likely.

b) Avoid the area in front of or behind

the rotating cutting disc. If the cutting disc

is moving away from you at the point of con-

straint in the workpiece, then, in the event of

a kickback, the electrical power tool and the

rotating disc may be thrown towards you.

c) If the cutting disc jams or you stop

work for a while, switch the device

off and hold it until the disc comes to

a complete stop. Never attempt to

pull the still rotating cutting disc out of

the cut as this could cause kickback.

Determine and rectify the reason for the jamming.

d) Do not switch on the device if the cut-

ting disc is in the workpiece. Allow the

cutting disc to reach full speed before carefully

continuing with the cut. Otherwise the disc

could snag, jump out of the workpiece or

cause a kickback.

e) Support boards or workpieces whilst

cutting to reduce the risk of kickback

caused by a jammed cutting disc. Large

workpieces may bend under their own weight.

The workpiece must be supported to both sides

of the cutting disc and particularly near the

cutting disc and at the workpiece edge.

f) Be particularly careful when pocket

cutting in existing walls or other areas

where you cannot see what you are

cutting into. The cutting disc plunged into

the surface could cut through gas or water

pipes, electricity cables or other objects and

cause kickback.

Special safety advice for

abrading using sandpaper

 Do not use over-sized sanding sheets.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommen-

dations for sanding sheet size. Sanding

sheets that project beyond the backing pad

could cause injury in addition to jamming, tear-

ing of the sheet or kickback.



Special safety

advice for polishing

 Do not use the polishing bonnet if it

has any loose parts, in particular the

fastening cords. Tuck the fastening cords

away or trim them. Loose fastening cords rotat-

ing with the attachment could catch your ﬁngers

or become trapped in the workpiece.

Special safety advice for

working with wire brushes

a) Bear in mind that wire brushes lose

pieces of wire during normal use. Do

not overload the wires by applying too

much pressure. Flying pieces of wire can very

easily penetrate thin clothing and / or skin.

b) Use a guard, if recommended, but

make sure that the wire brush does

not come into contact with the guard.

The diameters of disc brushes and cup brushes

can increase due to contact pressure and cen-

tripetal forces.
